OHYAT: One Ton Again

[tealin]

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO TODAY, the mules and dogs and men of the search party reached One Ton Depot, where Cherry and Dimitri had waited for the Polar Party back in March.

I had a fair panic as we came up to the depot. I did not see that one body of the ponies had gone ahead of the others and camped, but ahead of the travelling ponies was a depot, looking very black, and I thought there was a tent. It would be too terrible to find that, though one knew that we had done all we could, if we had done something different we could have saved them.
